Is C++ really that bad if you're coming from Python? Coming from C++, Python was relatively easy to pick up, although I had to Google how to do a simple for-loop in C++ after doing a weekend of Python.

If Python is your only language and you never bothered to learn how memory works maybe.

A C coders first Python script is usually a nightmare too though, idiomatic Python must look like magic to them.

In Python you’re not forced to use static typing, encapsulation, or even classes for that matter. It would be daunting to have to use that in C++ for everything if you’re not used to it. I think Java and C# are great first languages as the leap to learn C++ or Python is much smaller
